Did an Oregon ambulance run over a biker and stick him with the bill? That’s what it sounds like!

At least they were friendly enough to give the man a ride to the hospital (since they were right there and so close to the scene). You would think if you’re hit by an ambulance that you’re not going to have to pay for anything but that doesn’t appear to be the case here. They ended up billing the man for the ride to the hospital that they were allegedly responsible for! Now, the man seems to be taking the matter to court.

Oregon Ambulance Runs Over A Biker And Leaves Him With The Bill

The 71-year-old cyclist was reportedly hit by an ambulance that made a right turn directly into him leaving him with a fractured nose and scrapes along with several other injuries. Now, he’s filed a $997,000 lawsuit against the ambulance provider after it picked him up, drove him to the hospital, and then billed him for the service, per Oregon Live.

William Hoesch, 71, ended up being billed $1,862 for the ambulance ride to the hospital. Not to mention the roughly $47,000 in medical expenses he’s already racked up and there’s an additional $50,000 of medical costs expected down the road. That’s a lot of money! According to the lawsuit, Allstate Fire and Casualty Insurance Co. is obligated to cover any damages that Columbia River Fire & Rescue are unable to cover. According to Oregon Live, Hoesch was biking through Rainier in Columbia County back in October of 2022 when the ambulance and him were traveling in the same direction and it made a right turn crashing into him and destroying his bicycle. It sounds like it happened right in front of the Columbia River Fire & Rescue’s Rainier station in which the ambulance was just returning from a trip. Thankfully, the ambulance was going at a slow speed it sounds like but it still caused a lot of damage and sounds like they never saw him and he didn’t think it would make the turn.

According to Oregon Live, the lawsuit also seeks $900,000 for pain and suffering, he states he suffered decreased range of motion, reduced grip strength, and other symptoms following the crash. Hopefully he’s able to fully recover and get back up on his bike soon. Seems like they should be willing to cover the fines seeing as they are at fault, but that’s just my opinion. Of course when you’re looking at paying that much money you’re going to try to find a way to not pay it. Just seems ridiculous to try to stick him with the bill! What do you think?

You can see some pictures of his injuries provided by Oregon Live here.

Cort Freeman was born and raised in Metro Detroit. He was named Clarkston High School 2009 Class Clown 13 years after graduating. Totally normal thing to happen. That’s thanks to his time spent as an Intern at Comedy Central and Social Media Correspondent for The Colbert Report. Cort has done comedy across the country, both standing up and sitting down. When he’s not trying to make you laugh on-air and online, he’s probably at home enjoying his favorite shows like Seinfeld, South Park, and The Office. He’s also totally uncomfortable writing about himself in the third person. Cort enjoys writing about comedy, food, sports, and entertainment. So, basically anything and everything.

  • Dave's Other Job Offer

    Can you imagine Dave in any other job? It would definitely be interesting! Well, it could soon become a reality. Dave received an offer from an erotic novelist to record the audio versions of her books and although he considered it, he doesn’t think his wife or the company would approve of him taking it as a side gig. I would buy that audio book!

  • Dave's Got Drugs In His Pockets

    Dave & Chuck the Freak talk about a guy who claimed the drugs in his pockets weren’t his and neither were the pants he was wearing. Dave then plays the song, ‘Drugs in my Pockets’ by The Monks but no one on the show has ever heard that song before. Turns out, the song isn’t bad! Well, at least as bad as Dave’s version of it. Check out BOTH versions above!

  • Dave's Plane Ass Incident

    Somehow, Dave always ends up in the most awkward situations. There’s one common denominator: himself. Dave was involved in an uncomfortable situation on an airplane over the weekend. He accidentally squirted hand sanitizer on a man’s ass that was standing in front of him and wanted to know if he handled the situation correctly.

  • Dave's Patio Furniture Update

    It’s the update we’ve been waiting for! Last year, Dave made a delivery mistake and sent outdoor patio furniture to people in Florida after meeting them one time. He shares an update after finding out the people kept the furniture for themselves and never said anything. Would you have done what Dave did? What would you have done in this situation?

  • Who Won't Stop Texting Dave?

    Technology has come a long way over the years. However, it still has a way to go. Dave & Chuck the Freak talk about an odd problem that Dave is experiencing involving his robot vacuum. It won’t stop texting him saying that it’s stuck, even when it’s not plugged in. Everyone says this is a problem only gadget man Dave would have to deal with.
